Special requirements
Copper Sensitivity
Like most invertebrates, they are highly sensitive to copper-based medications and fertilizers. Ensure all tank additives are invertebrate-safe.
Breeding Precaution
To maximize survival of young shrimp, use a sponge filter in the breeding aquarium to prevent hatchlings from being drawn into the filtration system.
Incompatible Tank Mates
Should not be housed with loaches, puffers, or larger carnivores that will prey on small invertebrates.
